The most beautiful and deepest experience a man can have is the sense of the mysterious.

It is the underlying principle of religion as well as of all serious endeavour in art and science.

He who never had this experience seems to me, if not dead, then at least blind.

To sense that behind anything that can be experienced there is a something our minds cannot grasp, whose beauty and sublimity reaches us only indirectly… This is religiousness.

In this sense I am religious.

To me it suffices to wonder at these secrets and to attempt humbly to grasp with my mind…

A mere image of the lofty structure of all there is,

-Albert Einstein-

“The state of mind which enables a man to do work of this kind is akin to that of the religious worshiper or the lover. The daily effort comes from no deliberate intention or program, but straight from the heart.”
